Home Decoration 


HE title of this book is justi- 

fied, for the purpose of it is 

to offer sketches in color and 
practical printed instructions on the 
art of decoration with artistic Wall 
Papers. 


Without the illustrations, show- 
ing interiors and the many other 
ideas presenting wall effects, the in- 
structions would be less intelligible, 
and the reader would be less apt to 
grasp clearly the meaning of the 
wall treatments described. 


In the type matter it is our desire 
to describe in detail the purpose of 
each room and to show how purpose 
and style should be related to each 
other. 


The wall papers available for ap- 
propriate decoration are shown in 
vast numbers, both as to variation 
in cost and suitability to the par- 
ticular objects in view. 


To understand good decoration 
thoroughly there is no better means 
of enlightenment than reading and 
studying the works of authorities on 
interior decoration. 


In “Home Decoration” the ablest 
artists and writers are foremost in 
its pages. This book is full of inter- 
est and worth considering from the 
artistic point of view. 


Period decoration is often quoted 
by the connoisseur and designer 
more as a “title word,” but seldom 
repeated by one thoroughly conver- 
sant with the requirements of the 
average householder of today. 
Early periods are usually interesting 
from an evolutionary standpoint, but 
there are few homes now where an- 
cestral wisdom will “fit in.” 


People realize now that it is best 
to make their homes more beautiful 
by leading the way in appreciation 
of the best examples of the Twen- 
tieth Century Period, which is truly 


a devotion to a more skilled im- 
provement of decorative art. 


WHAT IS WHAT 


In the majority of the color 
sketches in “Home Decoration” all 
the designs and patterns are shown 
in our new line of sample books. 
Those few not shown are marked 
Special, and appear only in our 
Special Book. 

Where wide friezes and narrow 
bands appear it will be necessary to 
select them as they are shown, for 
it is not practical to display them 
in sample book form. The instruc- 
tions on each page describe the 
widths and repetition of design, and 
the colors reproduced are almost 
perfect. 

Draperies in harmony with each 
style of decoration are suggested 
throughout. It is impossible to serve 
our patrons with samples of this 
class of merchandise. Our advice is 
to make known your wants to our 
Decorative Department, giving ap- 
proximately the amount of money 
you wish to expend on window and 
door hangings, and in turn an expert 
will submit a scheme within your 
price limit. 

When ordering a given sketch, 
order by number and state whether 
the mouldings and ceilings are de- 
sired. Do not cut the pages from 
the book, as later you may want 
them. 


We give the quantity for a room 
15x15 with four openings, and the 
code word with each plate. In case 
your room is larger, add one roll, 
one yard of border and two crowns 
for each foot, and reduce in the same 
proportion if smaller.

HE requirements of the Hall de- 

mand that the decoration be some- 

thing that will make it a habitable 
room, for we now find the Hall one of 
the rooms of the house, the stairway 
being the only visible means of its 
identity from any other room. 

While considering it as one of the 
rooms it nevertheless should assume the 
dignity of a Hall, and its purpose must 
be fully understood. 

Of all rooms in the house it is the 
one which is capable of effecting most 
in the way of first impressions. As soon 
as you enter you are able to judge in a 
great measure the character of the whole 
house. If the decorations are well 
chosen and harmonize nicely with the 
surroundings you can rest assured of a 
natural welcome and real hospitality. 

Boldness of design or elaborate col- 
orings are fatal to the spaciousness and 
comfort which ought to characterize the 
Hall. It demands an artistic color 
scheme and, as well, a durable one. 

The Hall serves its purpose when it 
graduates the transition from the out- 
side to the various rooms within the 
house, therefore, it must satisfy exact- 
ing requirements. By being decorated 
artistically it will serve its purpose from 
every point of view. 

The sketch opposite presents a very 
artistic Hall treatment. The lower is in 


Hall 


a Tiffany blend and paneled with a 
hand-print effect border, with corner 
blocks set in. The upper wall suggests 
a stenciled leather effect. 

In the frieze part of this decoration 
there is a particularly artistic treatment 
introduced. It is composed of an exten- 
sion and inlay panels. The panels may 
be set in wherever wanted. It is best 
to place one panel on each side of each 
corner in the four corners of the room 
and in the center of each wall, or next 
to a high opening, as illustrated. The 
sketch introduces the following patterns, 
numbers, codes, prices, quantities and 
books they appear in.

Drawing Room 


eminently the ladies’ room, as much 

so as the smoking room is for the 
pleasure of the men. It is in the drawing 
room where the ladies of the house 
“receive” and preside. It is here the 
whole atmosphere of the apartment is 
imbued with the gracious expression of 
woman’s unequaled talents. 

Usually it is here that you adjourn 
from the dining room to indulge in the 
pastime of music and conversation in 
which all may contribute their share. 

The Drawing Room is a room of 
quality, sociability and comfort. The 
decoration should have elegance in its 
appearance for no less a reason than it 
is the ladies’ “audience chamber,” and, 
therefore, the selection would exact this 
concession even if it were not for the 
necessity of one displaying taste in 
choosing wall papers and draperies. 

To have such a room one must exer- 
cise no little amount of care in the 
choice of design, coloring and arrange- 
ment. The thought must not be in sac- 
rificing grace for display; suitability 
must not be ignored in favor of mere 
elegance. 

Above all do not allow your selection 
to be in bright or showy colors, for 
there is nothing so ineffective as a gaudy 


be room is essentially and pre- 


Drawing Room. It is sometimes well 
meant, but it oversteps the mark and is 
a prolific cause of inartistic “mischief” 
—the injudicious endeavor of the owner 
to beautify beyond the power of endur- 
ance. 

The interior illustrating a Drawing 
Room is indeed a choice color scheme. 
The design is so arranged that a single 
or double panel may be formed. There 
is also a plain paper—simply the back- 
ground to be used as a stile. The crown 
and base part of the decoration intro- 
duces color in the flower arrangement, 
while the wall hanging is in a two-toned 
effect with a simple outline vine which 
forms the panels.

tions, etc., are given below:

The Library 


T IS a mistake to suppose that a 

Library demands a heavy and dark 

color scheme. On the contrary it 
ought to be cheerful, although it is quite 
necessary for one to be careful and not 
allow the finished effect to be incon- 
sistently “flashy.” 

It is averred there is no valid reason 
why books should be associated with 
excessive gloom, or why somberness 
should be characteristic of the Library. 

Well-filled bookcases, a glowing fire- 
place, reading table, easy chairs and a 
pleasant background seems a most sen- 
sible decorative scheme—one most de- 
sired for enjoyable reading. 

It is often noted that a favorite book 
seems to derive an added charm from 
the comfortable conditions under which 
one makes its acquaintance. 

The decoration of the Library must be 
governed entirely by the purpose of the 
room. There should be nothing to un- 
duly attract attention. Vivid coloring and 
brilliant friezes are not in accord with 
appropriate Library decoration. 


The most excellent results are secured 
with neutral tones in shadow prints and 
paneled effects. 

Our sketch showing a Library needs 
little comment. The novel arrangement 
of the wall decoration above the book- 
cases is obtained by using the crown part 
of the design doubly at the angle and 
above the bookcases. The wall paper 
illustrated is printed on Holzmehl—im- 
ported stock—and the printing represents 
hand block work. The shadow effects 
are clearly exemplified, and resemble 
closely hand stencil and fresco painting. 

There are few designs in which there 
is more merit introduced than in this 
one.

SKETCH III 


Bedroom 


HERE are so many pretty wall 

papers that one need never be at a 

loss to secure a delightful Bedroom 
effect.. Cretonnes made to match the 
designs can be obtained for window 
hangings, chair covers and bed spreads, 
and with all these advantages it is need- 
less to complain that the field of choice 
is a narrow one. 

It is evident that the manufacturers 
and designers, to whom is due the pres- 
entation of new ideas, have greatly 
increased the scope of decorative possi- 
bilities. By virtue of ingenious samples 
of wall treatments there is no hindrance 
to the adoption of a color scheme indi- 
cating the essential note of coziness, 
refinement, leisure and quietude, which 
are pre-eminently characteristics of the 
Bedroom. 

A study of the drawing offered here 
one finds an exquisite effect. The color 
scheme is as attractive and appropriate 
as is possible to illustrate. 

The crown, base band, ceiling and wall 
panel border are so ingeniously incorpo- 


rated with the background that their 
presence is hardly suspected at first 
sight. 

The color scheme, as you will per- 
ceive, is in yellow, with white woodwork 
and enough white in the cut-out crown 
and panel borders to give relief to the 
background. 

The popular colors this season for 
chamber decorations are in soft yellows, 
tans, grays, blues and white stripe or 
cloth effects. 

Our illustration depicts the patterns 
as given below:

Bedroom 


Dining Room 


O MATTER how much thought is 

given over to the solution of your 

decorative problems for other im- 
portant rooms in the house, your success 
is not complete until you have dealt with 
the Dining Room. No matter how popu- 
lar your chosen color scheme for the 
library, hall or drawing room may be 
with you, that is a “horse of another 
color,” and they lack the distinctive, 
characteristic features of the room you 
dine in. 

The decoration of this room may of 
itself either encourage or discourage a 
cheerful spirit. Cheerfulness is a prime 
necessity in the Dining Room, not only 
with regard to the interior adornment, 
but in the spirit of its occupants. 

It has been repeated often that a well- 
decorated Dining Room acts as a tonic 
to the valuable element of cheerfulness 
as well as a preventative of indigestible 
dinners. 

This is an age of intelligence and we 
are masters of every situation, so we 
have discovered the requirements of the 
Dining Room—plenty of harmonizing 


tones in the decorations, a fire-place to 
drive away the chill of the room, or cast 
a homelike charm, the chairs and table 
quaint, simple and unduly severe, with 
the sideboard and buffet excellently in 
accord. 

The sketch typifies this sort of a room, 
as it pictures its own story. There is an 
air of satisfaction about the whole effect 
that is most pleasing, and we cannot rec- 
ommend this color scheme too highly 
for its thoroughness as a Dining Room 
scheme.

Lounging Room 


HEN we talk of home life and 

home conditions, and of what a 

tired business man can appreciate 
after the day’s fret and worry, we cannot 
help wishing him the comforts of the 
Lounging Room. 

We also find that the institution of the 
smoking room in private houses has been 
somewhat “elbowed out.” There must be 
at least one room where the smoker can 
retreat and surround himself with the 
clinging fumes of the omnipresent cigar 
or pipe, so let’s permit of the Lounging 
Room being specially appropriated to this 
“burning of incense.” 

In choosing your wall decorations it is 
always best to exercise a little individual 
fancy—which if consistent will mean a 
degree of brightness within reason and 
not in extreme. Comfort, controlled by 
restraint, will decide the color note. 
Think out your color scheme in advance 
and leave the little things out until the 
scheme is fairly outlined in its actuality. 

The Lounging Room sketch offered is 
a simple but effective treatment. The 


coloring throughout is neutral and 
pleasing and very restful. In a room of 
this kind use plenty of small Oriental 
rugs, both on floor and couch, a number 
of pillows and easy chairs. The lower 
wall consists of a crown decoration 
printed on a jaspe ground and hung to 
the continuous trim of the room; above 
this a modern art frieze is centered, with 
a moulding on each edge of it. Between 
the cove and continuous trim, the plain 
part of the lower wall is used as a stile, 
giving a splendid background for the 
frieze. The patterns shown are as 
below:

HE frieze part of this decoration consists of an 

extension and panels. The latter may be “set 

in” on the extension at intervals most pleasing 
to the individual wishing to use it. As stated in the 
Hall Sketch, the location of the panels is most 
effective when placed in that way. The lower wall 
is printed from an old tapestry print and is paneled 
with the outer bands of the extension border.

decoration—white panels, soft green stile and 
artistic cretonne, offers a color combination very 
much admired. The effect is decorative, and for its 
purpose there is little to add but what the sketch 
reveals at first glance. 

The base band is a part of the cut-out crown— 
that is, a sufficient quantity of the base border comes 
attached to the crown and is included in the price 
of the crown. Same applies to all crown and base 
borders.

the upright columns to center in the angle of 
corner of the four corners of the room, or in the

over the Tiffany effect lower wall. The ceiling design

one of the most harmonious schemes of color ever

printed design and will make a very high-class deco- 
ration for any important room. The stencil-like

HE color sketch showing a bathroom scheme is 

an exceptionally appropriate one. Each section 

is twenty inches wide and five feet high. There 
are four different sections to the repeat of the swan 
decoration, making a repeat of eighty inches. The 
sections are so made that they are interchangeable, 
and any particular bird can be placed on the wall 
wherever it looks best. The lower wall is of Sani- 
tile, and is made in three parts, the top, base and 
filler, and the widths of the top and bottom are 
- twenty-four inches and the filler is eighteen inches, 


so in this way any height desired may be had. The 
prices quoted on Sanitile are subject to the same 
conditions as shown on samples in Special Book.

HE introduction of the above decoration fills a

rail is used the width above it is too wide for 
the usual width frieze. In this sketch we introduce 
an art border in conjunction with the wide border, 
filling in the space nicely and also making the effect 
very decorative. The Dutch frieze is a thirty-foot 
repeat, six sections, five feet each to the roll. There 
is also an extension which*enables one to have a 
frieze in an entire room without any repetition of 
design—sixty feet in all.

October 
Frieze 
and 

Art 
Panels 


HE October Frieze in Autumn colors is a very 

appropriate frieze for the dining room or library. 

This border is thirty-six inches wide, six sec- 
tions to the roll of thirty feet and a repeat of fifteen 
feet. Being in scenic and foliage printing, repetition 
of design is not noticeable. 

The lower wall is produced by a clever manipula- 
tion of our new extension and panel frieze. Hang 
the lower wall by cutting one band off the extension 
and in this way the panel strips will appear eighteen 
inches apart. Set in the square panels as shown in

HE formation of this example of wall decoration 
needs but little explanation, as it shows in itself 
the proper effect. 

Individual panels may be placed to suit the wall 
spaces with the use of the plain fabric ground known 
as the stile. The unusual part of this decoration is 
in the fact that it is entirely different from the aver- 
age crown paper, which can only be hung in con- 
nected panels. This feature alone stamps it as a 
more modern treatment.

E HEREWITH display an example of Eng- 

lish printing. In both floral and shadow 

effects the English manufacturer excels all 
others. 

The treatment shown above is a crown decoration 
in the Rococo style. The perfect blending of the 
soft colorings introduced in this scheme and the 
Overprinted ground work is executed in a very excel- 
lent manner and is worthy of your attention. The 
festoon arrangement in a hand-colored effect, con- 
nects the panel idea gracefully.

RAY and putty tones in wall papers are to be 
Gc very popular this year, especially so where the 

woodwork is in mahogany. When a very 
pleasing and restful color scheme is required, the 
above will be much appreciated. The best method 
to follow in using this decoration is to panel each 
wall, the border at the top following the angle of 
the ceiling and over the base board. The border 
may run under the windows at the bottom, but in 
the case of doors it may run up to the opening and 
continue again on the other side. The motif shows 
a corner piece which can be used if desired.

HADOW effects are shown in profusion, in new 

tones, this season, and the results so far from 

their usage have been very satisfactory. The 
sketch suggests a pleasing way to use one as a lower 
wall. The panel border in tapestry colors, with 
corners, makes a pleasing combination. The upper 
wall introduces the Rose and Trellis cut-out crown 
and base band. In this case the base band is used 
above the plate rail, which is equally proper and 
effective. The crown is printed on imported “oat- 
meal” stock and the coloring is soft and pleasing.

will no doubt be just what is wanted. The upper

HERE is always one room in the house that 

ought to be made “dressy,” as its use is confined 

generally to a sort of an “assembly room,” or 
in a “pinch,” one that may be converted into a guest’s 
chamber. Here is a decoration suitable to such a 
room, as it may be called a boudoir, sewing room, 
man’s room or guest chamber. 

One of the new shadow stripes is used as a back- 
ground stile, and a flat-toned jaspe ground floral 
paper is used in the “field” of the panels. The 
shadow-printed panel border is most effective.

NDIVIDUALITY in selecting and a little inge- 
li nuity in arranging a color scheme seems to be 

the proper method of decorating. 

In the above, by a little manipulation with the 
“cutting knife,” the effect shown is accomplished on 
the lower wall. Instead of using the crown as it 
is shown in the sample book, the floral part is shown 
as a base band and the arch effect is produced at 
the card rail. On the upper a cloth effect on a white 
ground sets off the panel border.

F THERE is one color scheme in wall papers 
that is popular it is brown, for no other reason, 
perhaps, than the assurance that this tone makes 

a satisfactory decoration. 

On this page we illustrate a decoration in brown, 
with crown effect, and to give it the appearance of 
hand work the crown is reversed at the base, making 
a very artistic treatment. Some of the shadow 
effects, both in gold and color, are somewhat lost in

ERE is a scheme with a great deal of merit 

as to coloring and formation. We call par- 

ticular attention to the great depth of color- 
ing in the crown and base band. While the tones 
are soft and pleasing the design is drawn in a man- 
ner that the effect obtained is one of high relief. 
The jaspe ground printed in stencil-like form and 
in the neutral tones, is an aid no doubt to the bring- 
ing out of the frieze part of the decoration.

HE CHANTICLER design illustrated above isa 

modern novelty decoration, made very popular 

from the fact that drapery cloth of the same 
design and colorings is shown to match it. The 
scheme produced herein is a very excellent way to 
use this style of paper. Run one strip up each cor- 
ner of the room and panel as an upper wall effect, 
allowing the “bird design” to act as a frieze paper, 
and the lower wall to produce a Japanese Tiffany 
burlap treatment. The panel border forms an excel- 
lent finish between the two.

HE method employed in assembling the above 
| Bases scheme is plain and simple, yet, artistic- 

ally, it is complete. The ivy leaf panel border 
follows the moulding and base board with the white 
margin left on next to the woodwork, while inside, 
next to the yellow paper, it is cut out. The white 
margin is left on and the border is run doubly up 
each corner of the room. To introduce an upper 
wall relief, the border is repeated (cut out on both 
edges) about thirty inches from the cove, from cor- 
ner to corner, which makes it run into the openings. 
The effect is very agreeable and out of the ordinary.

OR a young lady’s room there could be nothing 

more dainty and effective—a dado of panels— 

a middle wall with panels—a crown with groups 
of flowers and all inlaid with ornaments. The whole 
scheme is also associated with the individuality of 
the background—a clever dimity or cloth effect. The 
middle wall panels should not be as small as pic- 
tured. Our idea was to show those in a miniature 
form, but in working out same in a room they 
should reach (singly) from corner to corner or to 
an opening, leaving an equal margin all around them. 
The longer panels should have three and the shorter 


. two ornaments.

Sketch XXXII 


ELOW we give a listed review 
B of the various subjects repre- 

sented in Sketch 32. It will, 
no doubt, interest you to learn the 
widths, lengths, styles and purposes 
of each. 


No. 9000, THE BIRCHES —a 
woodland scene—thirty inches wide 
—ten-foot repeat of pattern—thirty 
feet to the roll—made in five-foot 
sections, six to the roll—suitable for 
Hall, Dining Room, Library. No. 
9000 Birches, 900600 Roll. 


No. 9029, LE SOIR—a water and 
landscape scene — ten-foot repeat — 
forty-two inches wide—thirty feet to 
the roll—made in five-foot sections, 
six to the roll, suitable for any im- 
portant room. No. 9029 Le Soir, 
900600 Roll. 


No. 9018, FOREST PANELS—a 
foliage and woodland scene—sixty 
inches high and forty inches long— 
two sections to the repeat of eighty 
inches—one roll will cover a wall 
space twenty feet long and five feet 
high—suitable for a Library or Hall 
above bookcases and dado. No. 9018 
Forest, 900600 Roll—see Sketch 31 
for all panel borders. 


No. 9070, SWISS PANELS — 
hand-painted — thirty-seven inches 
wide and nine feet high, although 
the height can be reduced to six feet 
without sacrificing the value of the 
scene. Swiss panels are made in 
series—twenty-five scenes—each one 
is beautiful and complete in itself— 
may be hung as a solid scene by 
hanging consecutive or in separate 
panels as illustrated. No. 9070 Swiss, 
675450 each. 


No. 9071, ORIENTAL PANELS 


—these panels are in the same sizes, . 


etc., as the Swiss, but depicting 
scenes of the Oriental type, while 
the Swiss scenes illustrate the Alps 
mountains and views of rare scenery 
in Switzerland. No. 9071 Oriental, 
675450 each. 


No. 5854, THE GRECIAN FIG- 
URES are for applique work, and 
there are six different types of fig- 
ures. They come all cut out and are 
best suited to a dark green back- 
ground. No. 5854 Greek, 225150 
each. 


The SWISS and ORIENTAL 
panels are suitable for a large hall 
in a country house and as well public 
buildings, such as theatres, cafes, 
hotel lobbies and banquet halls. The 
Grecian figures can be set in between 
panels or used as a frieze, allowing 
the series to extend around the entire 
room at equal distances apart. The 
figures are twenty-two inches high. 


While on the subject of this book 
and Sketch 32, we wish to call par- 
ticular attention to an auxiliary 
book, published in conjunction with 
“Home Decoration,” entitled, “Prac- 
tical Suggestions to the Decorator.” 


The latter deals principally with 
larger interiors, such as Public 
Buildings, Churches, Lodge Halls 
and Theatres. Its purpose is to 
assist in the selection of suitable and 
attractive color schemes for such 
buildings mentioned above. 


Heretofore the individual was un- 
able to grasp the meaning of the 
suggestions offered by the decorator. 
With the aid of this illustrated book 
both the patron and decorator will 
be able to reach an agreeable under- 
standing. :
